Mocaccino
Burlington Beer Co.

Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow, minimal head formation. Nose is sugar syrup and coffee milk. Taste is overwhelmingly sweet - pure high fructose corn syrup with a light amount of vanilla and artificial coffee. I imagine this is what those sugar pumps from that one chain squirt into their burnt coffee taste like, but beat me. Feel is a little oily, a little greasy, but otherwise moderate and nondescript. This was....not for me.

 

 

 

 

 

Appearance: Pours a relatively clear amber color with a rather modest head that fades to a ringlet; a splattering of lace

Smell: Milk coffee, white chocolate and vanilla with a grainy element

Taste: Sweetened white chocolate forward with the vanilla and milk coffee elements emerging; grainy tones as well but the finish is sweet

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: Not all that excited by the white chocolate flavors here

 

 

 

No can date
Pours a light fizzy 1/2 finger head with med-low retention, bit of lacing, very hazy blond-wheat-orange color

Nose starts with lots of fresh cold-brew coffee, freshly roasted med roast coffee beans, sweet blond malts, fair malty character, fair buttery vanilla character with some creamy milky lactose notes, a bit of cocoa and white chocolate,

Taste starts fairly sweet again, lots of blond malts up front, sweet with a little sugary character and some vanilla icing, a little vanilla cake, some coffee but not as much as the nose, light roasted smooth cold-brew coffee and freshly roasted light coffee beans, some creamy milky lactose adding to the vanilla icing, more of the white chocolate flavor but not really cocoa, touch of bitterness, mild sticky sweet finish, a bit more bitterness lingering with lots more white chocolate, light coffee, and vanilla cake with vanilla icing

Mouth is med to fuller bod, a bit creamy rich, med foamy carb

Overall not bad, base beer was OK but way too much going on overall, I feel like if they dialed it back a bit and let the blond stout itself shine a bit more it would have been nicer
